EQ WATCH: August 8-16th, 2019

There is a very high likelihood of magnitude 7 or greater somewhere in the world anytime now to within the next week. There could also be more significant volcanic activity taking place somewhere. A powerful earthquake somewhere may be imminent any moment now or within the next 1-2 weeks at this point. I have determined the candidates for the next possible major earthquake or more strong earthquake activity: Ryukyu Islands(the region between Northeastern Taiwan and Southwestern Japan), possibly the Eastern Mediterranean region from Greece to Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, possibly Iran, Myanmar(Burma), Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, Halmahera), East Timor, the Philippines(Mindanao, Samar, Luzon), Taiwan, Japan(Hokkaido and/or Honshu) Kuril Islands, Aleutian Islands, Papua New Guinea, Santa Cruz Islands, Tonga, Vanuatu, Loyalty Islands, Kermadec Islands(NZ), Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, possibly Colombia, Central America..
The regions in particular that I am watching more closely now are the Ryukyu Islands or the area between Northeastern Taiwan and Southwestern Japan, the Eastern Mediterranean Sea region(from Greece to Western Turkey), and the Afghanistan and Pakistan region. There has been more significant activity taking place in those areas most recently. However, the next major earthquake in the world may also not hit any of the 3 named regions.
It can also likely occur somewhere else.
The Ryukyu Trench is capable of a very large, tsunamigenic earthquake. It also is known to have a number of active volcanoes. The most recent earthquakes that have occurred in the area have raised concerns. Meanwhile, closer to home, there have not been any large aftershocks from the Little Lake sequence since last month. That does not mean that it is over at all. There is also due to be more activity heating up here in Southern California anytime or within the next week.
